OMG!! Is he related to the idjet who put his hand on my thigh three times at a bar? I put it back on his own twice & said, "I think this is yours." The third time I slammed it on the bar and said, "Bartender. This is the third time this ::sarcasm on:: gentleman ::sarcasm off:: has missed putting his hand on his own thigh. Perhaps he's had too much to drink?"

The bartender immediately tossed him out and barred him from the establishment. Pity you can't do that with the guy in the ICU.

mother-in-law, PACU RN, was doing her thing when she noticed a similar tattoo on a young lady- her "area" was dyed green, with a tattoo sign that said, "please stay off the grass." i still do not believe it, but i suppose anything in health-care is possible.

Ya'll are being just silly about this..we all KNOW that any female willing to place any orifice of hers near this "gentleman's" crotch can't READ anyway, so he STILL has to sound-it-out to da bee-oches !!

Hey- that's my boyfriend you're talking about... Riigght..HA -classy chap. Thats going to go down (excuse the pun) really well when he's 86 and in a resthome and his philipino* male nurse has to skin lift his beerbelly to read it slowly to himself.."sock diz. beetcheese?" you want me go find som sock for you, Messter Smeeth?? Or maybes som cheese?"I would have given him a lecture on grammar and spelling.

Reader in New Zealand (-:

*nothing against philipino nurses -they are great - and have the humour to deal with this sort of -err - situation!
